The David Whitney Building

a great building begins with a great foundation

The soul of detroit

Rebirth, Revival, regeneration

Aloft Detroit at The David Whitney and The Residences at The David Whitney are a destination unlike any other, one that merges the aesthetics of the best luxury boutique hotels with the privacy and convenience of a private residence. Residents of The David Whitney Building enjoy 24-hour services and amenities of a luxury hotel. For business and leisure travelers, the renaissance in Downtown Detroit offers a unique experience within walking distance to all entertainment venues the city has to offer, including all four professional sports teams, world-class theaters and a burgeoning restaurant scene.

Following a comprehensive, $92 Million restoration of the historic David Whitney Building, one of the most important structures in downtown Detroit and one of only three surviving buildings in the city by the renowned architectural firm of Daniel H. Burnham & Co., has been restored to its original 1915 grandeur – a 19-story symbol of classic American strength and beauty.

Beautifully lit by a skylight and adorned with marble, terra cotta and gold leafing, the building’s four-story lobby offers a one-of-a-kind welcome. In the floors above, 136 hotel rooms and 105 residences marry contemporary design and décor with every modern comfort. ​
